en-USBealls moving store en-US to Tomoka Town Centeren-USAfter many years as one of the anchors of a South en-US Daytona mall, a long-time tenant will now set up en-US shop elsewhere in the Daytona Beach area.en-US Bealls Outlet, a store that specializes in selling en-US clothes, accessories, toys, gifts and all kinds of home en-US dcor at low prices, plans to close its Sunshine Park en-US Mall store by the end of en-USApril and open one at en-US Tomoka Town Center, a new shopping development en-US adjacent to the Tanger Outlets Mall at the corner of en-US Interstate 95 and LPGA Boulevard.en-US The new Bealls should be ready to go sometime in en-US the fall, according to Karen en-US Filips, Director of Comen-US -en-US munications & Community Affairs for Bealls Inc.en-US Like all retailers, were constantly evaluating the en-US performance of our portfolio of stores, Ms. en-US Filips added. As part of our business strategy en-US and revitalization plans, some of our underen-US -en-US sized stores are being consolidated due to en-US our growth strategy in the market.en-US Bealls, a privately owned company with en-US corporate offices in Bradenton, is the parent of en-US Bealls Outlets, which operates more than 500 stores en-US worldwide, including more than 70 in Florida. The en-US comapny employs more than 100 people in the Dayen-US -en-US tona Beach area.en-US Company officials noted closing the Sunshine en-US Park store, a 16,475-square-foot space between the en-US Daytona Ice Arena and Publix, was a difficult but en-US necessary choice.en-US We are focused on continuing to grow our busien-US -en-US ness with larger stores where people love to shop, en-US Ms. Filips stated. We thank our customers and en-US assoen-US -en-US ciates for letting us en-US be a part of their community and encouren-US -en-US age them to continuing shopping with us at one of en-US our other locations in the area.en-US All Bealls employees at the Sunshine Park store en-US have been offered similar jobs with the company at en-US other area locations. Some of them may end up at en-US the Tomoka location when it opens, according to en-US Ms. Filips.en-US All Aboard Properties of Port Orange, owner of en-USIf youre a civic-minded en-US citizen of South Daytona, the en-US city could use your help.en-US Officials are looking to fill en-US volunteer spots on each of its en-US three citizen advisory boards: en-US Adjustment & Appeals, Land en-US Development Regulation and en-US Parks & Recreation.en-US South Daytona Public en-US Information Officer Jeanne en-US Willard said the openings are en-US for alternates to current en-US board members.en-US We are always looking for en-US citizens who are interested in en-US getting involved and are willen-US -en-US ing to volunteer their time en-US and talents for the good of en-US our community, Ms. Willard en-US added. Alternate board en-US members attend all meetings en-US so that they are current on en-US issues and are able to step in en-US if a regular board member is en-US unable to attend.en-US Those who are interested en-US would be required to fill out en-US an application provided by en-US the city and must receive en-US approval from the City en-US Council before they can en-US begin.en-US Each board is made up of en-US seven members and two en-US alternates, but finding people en-US to fill those roles isnt always en-US the easiest, according to en-US South Daytona Community en-US Development Director John en-US Dillard.en-US If we dont have a quorum en-US when it comes to the meeting en-US time, then we have to start all en-US over again, Mr. Dillard staten-US -en-US ed. We have to make sure we en-US have enough people there to en-US meet those requirements.en-US Alternates arent allowed to en-USSouth Daytona en-US looking to fill en-US board spots en-USVeteranen-US heading back en-US to Vietnamen-USPort Orange resident Jim en-US Glor was awarded a Purple en-US Heart after he was wounded en-US in the Vietnam War and en-US hasnt been back since. en-US Until now. en-US Mr. Glor is one of nine veten-US -en-US erans selected for the Veteran en-US of Foreign Wars Return to en-US Vietnam, an all-expense paid en-US trip set to depart April 5 and en-US return April 18.en-US The in-country tour en-US offered by the national VFW en-US has been going on since en-US 2005. The trip will include en-US visits to key cities, including en-US Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City en-US (formerly Saigon), with stops en-US at Hue and DaNang. Former en-US battlefields and military en-US bases are on the agenda as en-US well as Vietnamese cultural en-US stops.en-US The idea of the trip is one en-US of healing, a chance to reconen-US -en-US cile the past. en-US Mr. Glors last rank was E5 en-US sergeant in the U.S. Marine en-US Corps. He enlisted in the en-US Marines in 1966, right after en-US high school. He went to Vieten-US -en-US nam shortly thereafter. en-US The country was a beautien-US -en-US ful country when we werent en-US being shot at or in combat en-US situations, he said. It is a en-US very lush country because it en-US is a tropical zone. I want to en-US go back, because I wanted en-US closure on it. The only thing en-US I saw was the boondocks, the en-US jungles, the rice paddies and en-US the small villages. Enlisted en-US personnel werent allowed in en-US the cities back that early in en-US the war. I want to go back, I en-US want to see the cities, the en-US progression of their economy en-US and their lifestyle since we en-US are not there anymore.en-US Regarding his Purple en-US Heart, he said, We went en-US down to search a ridge line to en-US try and find a better observaen-US -en-US tion post and they (Viet en-US Cong and North Vietnamen-US -en-US ese) had booby trapped the en-US area. Three of us were taken en-US out of the field. I was wounden-US -en-US ed in the right arm and right en-US side, and both my legs from en-US the waste down with shrapen-US -en-US nel. en-US He was operated on and en-US hospitalized for about two en-US months, then went back to en-US active combat and finished en-US up his time with his unit. He en-US received his Purple Heart en-US while hospitalized in en-US DaNang.en-US The problems that I had en-US when I first came back have en-US gotten really dim, Mr. Glor en-USShe sells en-US the light en-US house en-US down by en-US the sea en-US shoreen-USVisitors to Ponce Inlet en-US Lighthouse might have en-US noticed a long-haired, en-US soft-spoken woman with a en-US quick smile crossing the courten-US -en-US yard on an obvious mission. en-US The woman, Mary Wentzel, en-US plays an integral part in the en-US operation of the premier local en-US attraction as programs managen-US -en-US er, designing and facilitating en-US all the programming and tours en-US at Floridas tallest lighthouse, a en-US National Historic Landmark en-US that still acts as a beacon to en-US vessels passing by on the en-US Atlantic Ocean or turning in at en-US the Inlet. en-USGotta wear shadesen-USRandy Barber/staff photographeren-USAddison Tyler, 2, of South Daytona looks like a natural as she cruises on a en-US four-wheeler during her visit to the Spring Fair & Food Festival at City Center en-US in Port Orange on Friday, March 23. en-USVol. 13, No. 11 Your Local News and Information Source www.HometownNewsVolusia.com Friday, March 30, 2018 PORT ORANGE SOUTH D AY TONA PONCE INLET DA YT ONA BEACH SHORES In-House Denture Lab Same Day Denture Repairs and Relines FREE Consultations & 2nd Opinions CALL FOR APPT AND MORE DETAILS.

en-USA2 Port Orange/South Daytona/Ponce Inlet/Daytona Beach Shores en-USMs. Wentzel, a Pennsylvania en-US native and artist, has always en-US been a history buff. She grew en-US up in Bucks County, Pa., in the en-US town of New Hope along the en-US Delaware River. Her high en-US school graduation ceremony en-US took place at the very site en-US where George Washington en-US crossed the Delaware River.en-US She is also a music buff. She en-US grew up in a house that her en-US mother, a sculptor, designed to en-US accommodate a pipe organ her en-US father restored from an old en-US Episcopal church, complete en-US with 1,000 pipes.en-US An accomplished guitar en-US player, her decision to become en-US a musician, then later to en-US become a visual artist, came as en-US no surprise to her family. en-US However, her choices came en-US with a disclaimer she would en-US need to be her own financial en-US backer. She sought scholaren-US -en-US ships, grants and loans to see en-US her through.en-US She graduated from the en-US Tyler School of Art at Temple en-US University with a bachelors en-US degree in fine arts. While puren-US -en-US suing her degree, she worked en-US as a childrens book illustrator. en-US She would also do pen and ink en-US illustrations of historical archien-US -en-US tecture across the Bucks en-US County countryside and try to en-US sell her work to the owners en-US and proprietors.en-US Sometimes I got lucky and en-US my work was purchased, she en-US said.en-US Along the way, she was hired en-US to design wine labels, illustraen-US -en-US tions for local magazines and en-US for the occasional childrens en-US book. She says one job, Once en-US Upon A Recipe, comes to en-US mind as the moment she en-US understood the plight of the en-US starving artist. The authors en-US would provide her with samen-US -en-US ples (healthy snacks for chilen-US-en-US dren) to draw from, which en-US provided her with a meal as en-US well.en-US When she finished college, en-US she traveled through Europe en-US on the back of a Harley-Daviden-US -en-US son motorcycle, touring Sween-US -en-US den, Denmark, Germany, Italy en-US and France.en-US I always enjoyed going to en-US museums, galleries and historen-US -en-US ic sites at home, so having the en-US opportunity to see these speen-US -en-US cial places in Europe was life en-US changing, she said.en-US The move to Florida, away en-US from family and friends, was a en-US practical decision. Living in en-US the affluent Bucks County en-US region was expensive. She and en-US her ex-husband moved to en-US Florida and bought the most en-US rundown home in Ormond-en-US by-the-Sea. However, she says en-US finding a job turned out to be en-US harder than expected. en-US I worked, doing everything en-US from working in a print shop en-US to waitressing, she said. Not en-US a tube of paint was squeezed en-US or an art pencil sharpened en-US during this time.en-US All her efforts were on en-US building a life and a new en-US home, and later, a family and a en-US new career.en-US She attended the University en-US of Central Florida to get addien-US -en-US tional credits in the field of en-US exceptional education, and en-US this turned out to be the en-US beginning of a new direction. en-US She began to volunteer at the en-US Museum of Arts and Sciences, en-US and soon became an employee en-US in their education department en-US under the direction of Gary en-US Libby. During that time, she en-US also had a son, Noah, who is en-US now 17 and pursuing a career en-US in photography. She became en-US the co-curator of education at en-US MOAS until 2007, at which en-US point her life took another en-US direction.en-US Ms. Wentzel and two parten-US -en-US ners opened a used book store en-US with an art and music venue in en-US Ormond Beach.en-US A lot can be learned when en-US going into business,she said. en-US It is difficult, exhilarating, en-US unforgiving and life changing, en-US all at the same time. Some days en-US you are inspired to take it on en-US again, and other days you say en-US never again. But there are en-US things you learn all the same. en-USShe added, The changes I en-US needed turned out to be peren-US -en-US sonal as well as professional.en-US The book store ended after a en-US year. Her marriage ended, and en-US a new life began for her and en-US her son.en-US The hardest times in your en-US life with the right attitude can en-US be the beginning of the best en-US chapter, she said. And this en-US was true for her. Almost en-US instantly, the paints, pens and en-US art paper came out.en-US Her art work in college was en-US in black, white and hues of en-US gray, but, now, vibrant colors en-US came out in her work.en-US Life became more colorful, en-US she said. I became my own en-US person. I was reunited with the en-US self I had lost somewhere over en-US the past 30 years.en-US She worked for the City of en-US Daytona Beach at an ECHO en-US site, where children came to an en-US environmental learning center. en-US Then she worked at Ormond en-US Memorial Art Museum and en-US Gardens as curator of educaen-US -en-US tion and exhibitions. Then a en-US position came up at the Lighten-US -en-US house, and she was one of en-US many who applied.en-US I was very fortunate, she en-US said. en-US She became programs manen-US -en-US ager at the Ponce Inlet Lighten-US -en-US house six years ago. She works en-US closely with more than 30 volen-US -en-US unteers, docents and educaen-US -en-US tors, who graciously donate en-US their time to the Ponce Inlet en-US Lighthouse Preservation Assoen-US -en-US ciation, giving tours, visiting en-US schools and helping to be en-US ambassadors of the Ponce en-US Inlet Lighthouse.en-US She said, One of the most en-US important things about the en-US Lighthouse is the support of en-US the community. Were able to en-US go to schools, give programs, en-US and offer field trips at the en-US Lighthouse at no charge. Were en-US self-supporting.en-US The Ponce De Leon Inlet en-US Lighthouse Preservation Assoen-US -en-US ciation Inc., a non-profit, is en-US supported by the gift shop, en-US memberships, visitors to the en-US Lighthouse and donations en-US from the community.en-US I feel so lucky because I get en-US to spend time with all ages en-US from all over the world, Ms. en-US Wentzel said. And I get to go en-US into Volusia County Schools en-US and teach students about the en-US science of light and lighthouse en-US illumination, and what it was en-US like for families who lived here en-US (years ago). en-US She met new friends and en-US met her new husband, Mark en-US Reed, who has run a beach en-US concession for more than 25 en-US years.en-US She still lives in Ormond-en-US by-the-Sea, in a home she built en-US where her old house once en-US stood. She still works at the en-US Ponce Inlet Lighthouse as proen-US -en-US grams manager. And she still en-US emits the same enthusiasm en-US through her position, despite en-US her quiet nature. When she is en-US not busy at her job, she still en-US travels to juried art shows with en-US her watercolors. But the Lighten-US-en-US house is a major part of her en-US life.en-US Its something I am very en-US proud of, she says. And good en-US friends are made along the en-US way. OWNER/DENTIST DR.

You see a lot en-US of bad things during the war. en-US This is an opportunity for en-US an individual to go back to en-US that country and actually see en-US how far they have come, he en-US said. We were there originally en-US trying to liberate the people en-US through the war. They have en-US come a long way and we hope en-US we played a significant role in en-US that. He is representing all en-US Vietnam veterans as an ambasen-US-en-US sador returning to that counen-US -en-US try.

Ms Pruitt is assisted by Patient Care Coordinator Samantha Carpenter whose job is to schedule patients appointments, pre-authorizations, billing, and assist with the cleaning and maintenance of hearing aids. She has been with Florida State Hearing Aids for six years, working an additional eight years with Ms Pruitt before that. When asked what makes her business unique, Ms. Pruitt said, My business gives individual one on one service to every client. You wont walk in two weeks after you purchase your hearing aids and get a random person that doesnt really care about you at all, they dont know you, they didnt test or fit you, and you feel left out in the cold. There is a lot of competition in the newspapers advertising low, low prices on hearing aids, she said. The problem is in the small print. I dont do bait and switch ads.

It is true that even en-US those who do not actively en-US engage in water sports are still en-US drawn to water, and especially en-US the sea. en-US Living near the Atlantic en-US Ocean allows me to meet en-US visitors who have traveled en-US hundreds of miles to sit and en-US look at it. These folks seem en-US mesmerized by the colors, the en-US motion, and the birds and fish en-US they may see. No doubt about en-US it, water exerts a strong pull en-US on us humans. en-US Now, if you have a desire to en-US get a bit closer to our watery en-US world, you need only turn on en-US the television. Currently en-US playing on BBC America is en-US the magnificent series "Planet en-US Earth, The Blue Planet." en-US Brilliantly photographed and en-US researched, "The Blue en-US Planet"will take you to places en-US you could not have imagined.en-US Each episode will astound en-US you, but for me, nothing en-US matches the one on the deep en-US ocean. There you will be en-US shown creatures never before en-US seen by the public. It is en-US beautifully narrated by David en-US Attenborough, who begins by en-US telling us that our Earth is 70 en-US percent water, and the seas en-US contain more animals than en-US any other place on the planet.en-US The things that exist en-US between one mile and seven en-US miles of depth are truly en-US amazing. The creatures shown en-US in the deep ocean could never en-US have been dreamed up by en-US those among us possessed of en-US the wildest imaginations. en-US There, the sunlight that we all en-US depend on is practically nonen-US existent, and many species en-US resort to a kind of bioluminesen-US -en-US cence. en-US An angler fish that is en-US beyond ugly waves a glowing en-US fishing lure from atop its head en-US to attract prey. Another fish en-US that thrives down there has en-US the worlds largest teeth as en-US compared to its size a more en-US formidable thing you will en-US never see. en-US In the oceans, the shrimp en-US are always the victims as food en-US for the other creatures. In the en-US deep ocean, there is a shrimp en-US that has a unique survival en-US trick. When under attack, the en-US shrimp begins to swirl about, en-US releasing luminescent strings en-US that confuse the predator long en-US enough for the shrimp to en-US make an escape. en-US These are but a few of the en-US miracles of the sea you will en-US find on "The Blue Planet." en-US Episodes deal with predatory en-US fish in a feeding frenzy, and I en-US even saw film of a full-grown en-US octopus out of the water and en-US moving through the rocks on en-US a beach as it looked for crabs en-US to eat. I dont know about you, en-US but if I came across an octopus en-US walking on the beach, I would en-US be weirded out. en-US I know that most of us have en-US watched "The Planet Earth" en-US series for years and would en-US agree it has been great, but en-US "The Blue Planet" is remarken-US -en-US able. From the open ocean to en-US the shore and the estuaries, en-US you are bound to be enteren-US -en-US tained. The show is stunningly en-US filmed and gives us a look at a en-US part of our world that we en-US seldom see. en-US If you are like me and love en-US being in and on the water, this en-US show will thrill you. If you are en-US not a participant, you will be en-US taken closer to our watery en-US world than you ever believed en-US possible. en-US Dan Smith is on the board of en-US directors for the Ormond Beach en-US Historical Society and The en-US Motor Racing Heritage en-US Association and is the author en-US of two books, The Worlds en-US Greatest Beach and I Swear en-US the Snook Drowned.

With the new construction in this county and the additions en-US to the tax roll, I find it difficult to believe they have trouble with en-US expenditures. en-US When they started the beach-ramp toll, everyone said, well its en-US only 50 cents. Well look at it now. When they started the stormen-US -en-US water fee that everybody paid for, it was small, but look at it now. en-US I find it difficult to believe the voters in Volusia County would en-US approve another fee. en-USEvent costs are too muchen-USI am calling about the changes in ordinances on Canal Street en-US in New Smyrna Beach. en-US They are starting a policy of having two off-duty police offien-US -en-US cers and firefighters on Canal Street when the street is shut off en-US for an activity, including the car show on the second Saturday of en-US each month. en-US Now, that would mean it would cost us about $800 every time en-US there is a car show.

Why en-US doesnt she have trash cans at her home? en-US Then a mans tire cover had ripped so he tore it off and threw en-US that just in front of the woods? Grow up people, children, too. en-US Take your junk home with you. This goes to the dog walkers, en-US also.

Come to the meeting at 5:30 p.m. on April 10 at the en-US Ormond Beach Library to see what we all can do to stop this en-US overreach. en-USNo money for taxpayersen-USThe money from the Bike Week and Speed Weeks goes in the en-US pockets of the hotels, restaurants and bars, and the taxpayers en-US pick up the bill. en-USAT&T has not been honesten-USAT&T has not been forthcoming in its ability to serve the local en-US area with WiFi.en-US After the fourth visit to my home from the technician, it was en-US communicated that AT&T has 300 percent less ability to serve en-US this area than Spectrum.

Late one en-US afternoon, the two of you are en-US out on the ocean when en-US tragedy strikes! A sudden en-US wind gust catches your en-US husband off guard. He loses en-US his balance, slips and hits his en-US head on the deck. You try en-US talking to him, but hes out en-US cold. en-US You fumble for the marine en-US radio handset, trying to en-US remember how it works. en-US Youre not sure if anyone can en-US hear your cries for help. en-US Nervously, you grab the en-US boats steering wheel and en-US throttle, and stare at all the en-US instruments and buttons. In en-US desperation, you yell out, en-US West! Which way is West?! en-US Thats got to be the way back en-US to the dock. The floating en-US compass seems like a toy and en-US only spins and bounces en-US around with the ocean swells.en-US Youre lost, alone, and have en-US no idea what you are going to en-US do.

Its then en-US he initiates an important en-US conversation. en-US This isnt just about en-US boating, he says. You really en-US dont know enough about our en-US finances. If I died, how would en-US you manage our investments, en-US insurance policies or IRA en-US accounts? Youve never even en-US met with our financial advisen-US -en-US er! en-US Thats true, you reply. en-US You admit to him you never en-US really cared to learn about en-US the finances because he en-US always handled everything. en-US I guess, then, there are en-US TWO things that need to be en-US done immediately, you en-US declare with new-found en-US determination. First, we en-US need to make an appointen-US -en-US ment to meet with our en-US financial adviser together. en-US Your husband nods his en-US head in agreement and adds, en-US From now on, you and I are en-US going to be co-captains of en-US our financial boat. Were in en-US this together, and it shouldnt en-US have taken a bump on the en-US head for me to realize it! So, en-US whats the second thing that en-US needs to be done? he asks. en-US Well, tomorrow morning en-US Im signing up for boating en-US lessons! you say through a en-US grin. en-US David D.

During its en-US stay at the hospital, the sea turen-US -en-US tle received antibiotics, fluids, en-US vitamins and a nutritious diet, en-US and has made a full recovery, en-US weighing in at over 5.5 en-US pounds. en-US According to Ms. Ranly, the en-US center has treated 65 sea turen-US -en-US tles already in 2018.en-US The center is open to the en-US public at 100 Lighthouse en-US Drive, Ponce Inlet.

Unfortunately, for en-US years many consumers would en-US buy imported lamb from New en-US Zealand and Australia, overen-US -en-US cook it, and then serve it with en-US mint jelly to mask the taste. en-US The flavor would be overpowen-US -en-US ering and the texture dry and en-US chewy. en-US Lamb raised in the United en-US States is grain-fed, giving the en-US lamb a beefier flavor unlike en-US the imported lamb that was en-US grass-fed, which caused a en-US more intense flavor. Todays en-US lamb from New Zealand and en-US Australia is grain-fed and has en-US developed a more delicate en-US taste. I still prefer the domestic en-US lamb, but I will use the importen-US-en-US ed in a pinch with no problem.en-US Chefs are better trained in en-US the cooking of lamb today, and en-US it is seen more often on restauen-US-en-US rant menus as well as lamb en-US shanks, my second all-time en-US favorite meat. Lamb is very en-US healthy to eat. It is a great en-US source of protein, essential en-US vitamins and minerals. It has en-US the correct ratio of all eight of en-US the essential amino acids.en-US The meat has less marbling en-US than other meats, which en-US means most of the fat is on the en-US outside edges. A 3-ounce poren-US -en-US tion of lamb leg has 74 mg of en-US cholesterol compared to 70 mg en-US in a skinless chicken breast. en-US Calorie-wise, there are 162 in en-US lamb to 159 in chicken. Now en-UShere is what you all have been en-US waiting for, my personal all-en-US time favorite recipe for Roasten-US-en-US ed Spring Lamb a la Costa.en-USRoasted Leg Of lamben-USIngredientsen-US 1 5-6 pound bone-in leg of en-US lamben-US 1/4 cup olive oilen-US 2 tablespoons chopped fresh en-US garlic gloves (about 6 cloves)en-US 1/3 cup balsamic vinegaren-US 1/4 cup fresh squeezed en-US lemon juiceen-US 1 teaspoon salten-US 1 teaspoon black pepperen-US 2 tablespoons leaf oreganoen-US 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary en-US choppeden-US Directionsen-US In a small bowl, mix all the en-US ingredients together except en-US the lamb.en-US Make 8 or 9 small slices all en-US over the lamb.

Ridgewood Ave. Ste. 4 | Port Orange 386.275.1190 | www.securityforceofamerica.com A en-USs I have said many en-US times, back when I en-US arrived here nearly 50 en-US years ago, fishing was pretty en-US easy. en-US All that was required was en-US dead shrimp, a hook and en-US some string. Sure the catch en-US was not always prime, but en-US then as now, I was happy just en-US to be catching. Over the years en-US I did refine my methods, en-US partly because I had gained a en-US little fishing sophistication, en-US but also due to the decline in en-US fish. en-US Back then it took very little en-US talent to catch a nice meal en-US and have some fun in the en-US process. Then I would say en-US that 80 percent of the people en-US who tried, caught fish. Boy, en-US things have sure changed. en-US Now I believe 80 percent of en-US the fish are caught by 20 en-US percent of the fishermen. en-US These days you must have en-US a degree of talent if you en-US expect to catch on a regular en-US basis. In order to gain that en-US talent you must be devoted to en-US the sport. I know from my en-US mail those of you who dont en-US catch a lot of fish are not en-US devoted. Thats fine, for en-US fishing may be done by en-US anyone. en-US Many of the folks who en-US send me e-mails are not en-US aware of the effort needed to en-US become a good angler. Thats en-US OK, too. Just try and be en-US honest about your degree of en-US commitment.en-US That commitment begins en-US with your boat and how you en-US use it. If creature comforts en-US aboard your vessel are en-US important to you, underen-US -en-US stand that you will be giving en-US up some fish-ability. A cabin en-US with a head may insure you a en-US comfortable day on the en-US water, but perhaps not a nice en-US mess of fish. Once you admit en-US you are more of a boater en-US than a fisherman, you can en-US adjust your methods. en-US I always tell the boaters to en-US stick to trolling. That is an en-US easy way of fishing as you en-US take a boat ride. Now I en-US understand that when most en-US people think of trolling, they en-US focus on an electric trolling en-US motor. That may not be en-US necessary. en-US Years ago I spent a lot of en-US time successfully trolling en-US with my 90-horse Mercury en-US outboard. Back then I would en-US put out four lines baited with en-US diving or suspending plugs en-US and troll just inside or en-US outside of Ponce Inlet. en-US Trolling just beyond the en-US breakers and parallel to the en-US beach can also be productive.en-US Dragging baits in the en-US Halifax or Indian rivers can en-US pay off at times. If you are en-US using stick baits and they are en-US not working, go to either en-US spoons or jigs. Your speed en-US will be important, but you en-US may troll faster than you en-US think. If your bait is hanging en-US the bottom you are going en-US too slowly, conversely, if your en-US bait is skipping the surface, en-US you are going too fast. en-US Keeping your bait in the en-US lower portion of the water en-US column without hitting en-US bottom is optimal. At times en-US you may need to add weight en-US to achieve that. en-US During the summer en-US months our Disappearing en-US Island just west of Ponce is a en-US great place to use as a base. en-US From there, troll south to the en-US New Smyrna bridges in the en-US Indian River or north to en-US Dunlawton on the Halifax. If en-US you are a boater/fisherman, en-US take along music, food and en-US drink, and anything else that en-US will make you more happy en-US while you are on the water. en-US Remember even though 80 en-US percent of the fish are being en-US caught by the dedicated en-US anglers, that still leaves 20 en-US percent for you.
